PROGRESS TO LOVE

Imagine the world without love, how would it be? When people hear of love, often the relationship that pops up to deal with love, is a man and woman relationship. But love is more than that. To those who believe in God like me, u will agree with me that love is the greatest command that God ever placed on mankind. He tells us that one way we can show Him that we truly love Him is by loving others. 1 John 4:9 states that God showed how much He loved us by sending His one and only son into the world so that we might have eternal life through Him. As i deliberate more on this command to love, i realise that if all mankind surely obeyed this command, the world will really be a better place to live in. It is evident that love covers lots of aspects other than just telling someone, "i love you baby" or giving that loved one something he or she treasures. the other book from the bible, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, shows how love is the greatest. It states," love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is awlays hopefuand endures through every circumstance". As go through this easter season, my dear friends, let us crave for the need to progress the love we have, the need to permanently improve the love we have, and surely develop the love we have.
